Stir occasionally, until apples become soft and tender about 30 minutes

After the compote and tart have cooled, fill the tart with the compote. Top with some toasted almonds and dried lavender

**Note: dried lavender has a very potent taste. Either soak the lavender in warm water before topping the tart. Or, as pictured, sprinkle lavender only in the center of the tart for a bit of flair.

Notes

An attempt to make pretzels went weary when, as per usual, the yeast didn't rise. I had to get creative to use the white chocolate I had already chopped and the 1 pound bag of lavender I now own. I mixed my favorite recipes together, rosemary short bread tart dough became lavender short bread. With pear filling getting an autumn twist and becoming an apple filling.
